I left a box of chocolates hanging from the mailbox today for the mailman -- he knocked on the door to thank me and said I made his day!

Glad he enjoyed it and it felt good to thank him, because sometimes the mail is the highlight of my day!!

I've been trying to catch her all week - but I think she might be on holiday and there's a substitute. I put some body lotion and lip balm together with a Tim's card. I hope I can find her tomorrow - if not it'll be next week!

We have central mail boxes. I know when our mail guy is there though....the music from his car literally vibrates the floor of my vehicle!

[MrsSunshine]

we have central boxes too and since our mail lady continually loses our mail or gives the another addresses mail.. meh not really impressed enough to offer a reward. sorry.
although im sure they appreciate it.

great reminder and kudos on all gifts so far. I've got my card hanging outside but he's either late today or there's no mail for me. will check again and bring back inside if he's not been by, by then. it's cooollldd outside!

[$avvy$hopper]

oh and in my area today is "newspaper with flyers' day so another card will be out soon for that carrier.

A gift for our carrier? Not a chance....not since a friend, who's a carrier told me two years ago, that when they see lots of "stuff" coming through that's obviously free, EVERYONE takes one!!

No thanks. I think they've taken enough around here.

ps...I'm sure there are good ones, and one x-tra special one on SC, but around here, when I heard that? I almost got ill.

I wonder who??





btw I have awesome customers . So far I have gotten all 3 selections of the Pot O Gold chocolates, from 3 different people ( ? strange huh? ) but so yummy! Cash too, but today a delicious home made fruitcake! ( I just love that stuff, esp. home made)

Thanks for posting OP! Nice of you to make your carriers day.

Ohhh! I FORGOT! I need to get something from the store tonight!

(don't move this to expired!!! It's a good reminder! )

I always leave something for my mailman - he is the greatest!!

This year we made him some home made shortbread and got a card with a Tim's G/C inside

When I returned from work today they were still in my mailbox with a extra note attached

"Your regular mail person is on vacation" As much as it is really appreciated I don't believe these are for me

Very nice person to think of the regular mail man - although tomorrow they will get their own pkg left for him/her for the thoughtfulness to leave it

[MrsSunshine]

aww Peachy that was nice of him. i think id reoffer it tomorrow if he's around.

[MrsSunshine]

although i remember the year hubby was delivering products.. he would always get nice xmas goodies $, GC's, chocolates. one xmas he was on a different route for a sick co-worker.. the person covering his shift got everything.. the $, GC's and chocolates and more.. and never said a word to him.. he found out a few weeks after they were told to give this to 'him' please. he was not impressed.
